Portadown zero-waste shop forced to close due to "unsustainable" rising costs

A local eco-friendly shop that opened less than eighteen months ago is set to close its doors due to the rise in living costs and inflation.

She said: "It has been a really difficult decision to make but we have families to think about. Every time we would place an order, the prices kept increasing each time."
